relationships are like brick walls.

At least to me that is.

Building up a r/s is like building brick walls. It takes both parties to make sure that the brick wall dun fall from either side as you keep building.

Not just talking abt romantic r/s but all kinds of r/s, even kinship.


A r/s brick wall has two colours. One colour represents the bricks placed by one party.

I'm the kind of person who both gets close to someone and moves on really quickly. And i have no idea whether it is good or bad.

So when building a r/s with someone, you can see the bricks forming the foundations are mostly mine. Usually thats the case.

But as we grew apart, and you stop putting in bricks, i stopped as well. Selfish? Maybe. Afraid? Most probably.
I guess i am afraid that the brick wall will fall and hurt me just when i'm trying to put more bricks.

And instead of putting more bricks, i tend to take away the bricks and throw them away, one by one, slowly and quietly. Just to see if you will notice.

And if you noticed and start to put in the bricks to replace the ones i threw, you will realise that i would start putting as much bricks as i can carry.

If you don't notice, there will still be a few bricks left.
Just a few that i couldnt bear to take away.
A few that represents all the bits and pieces of memories that are faded and rough.


I am sorry that the cowardly me don't dare to put in any bricks when you are not doing so.
I am sorry that i don't dare to take the initiative of asking you to put some bricks to keep our r/s strong.

I only hope that you can see that even when i'm not putting any bricks that i will forever try and not let the bricks be unattended and someday hurt you.

I hope that you can see the daisies and roses and pretty plants that i am trying to plant on or around the wall to make it pretty and make you happy.

I hope that you know that i love you, as long as we have a brick wall tgthr, even if there is only a few of the bricks left, because to me, that few is still a brick wall, it still is.
